They have understood that a full online or a full cloud content or service access is not the solution.

Our batteries are two weak to download data all the time.

Our networks are too weak to download data all the time.

Our mobile plans are too weak to download data all the time.

Content and services have to be available offline and replicated in the cloud.AndContent and services have to be available in the cloud and replicated offline.

Three ways to do that:

BYOC: Bring your own cloud. Like Deezer, Runkeeper, Blogger or Pocket. They rely on their own cloud and they own app to propose offline and cloud access.

Lorel & Hardy: Like Reeder that leverage Google Reader feed (in the cloud) to display it offline on an app.

One cloud to rules them all: Like Todo. They don't have any cloud. They just connect with Dropbox to propose a real time saving of offline todolists in the cloud. It allows synch over apps (iPad and iPhone for ex.) and a transparent recording.

Edit: A little post from Google to showcase Offline Google slides.
"Any new presentations or changes you make will be automatically updated when you get back online. So you can continue polishing slides on your next flight, and head to your upcoming presentation without worrying about whether there's going to be wifi."
In the Cloud + Offline, brilliant with sync, brillant.

TimeToSignOff (a newsletter in France) got it: a limited set of information, high quality, picked with caution.
Tinder got it. Y…

Global warming is often used to describe the impact of us releasing in the atmosphere too many bad things.
The word is very bad because and in our everyday life it's not getting warmer. It's getting upset.
It's hard to stand up against something you don't notice much.
People say on TV that if hearth takes 2 more degrees, we'll all have terrible lives. Unfortunately, the world is still amazingly beautiful even if we're dangerously close to this.
